HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software v4.6 User and Troubleshooting Guide (T1789-96094, June 2010)

3. Based on the XP array for which you want to import its performance data, select the relevant file

of the following type from the list displayed in the Archive Import section:

<PAarray_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archival_start_time>_

<Start_collection_interval_timestamp>_<End_collection_interval_timestamp>.DMP

For example, PA10055_12OCT2008_20.07.32_1217826540130_1217826600138.DMP

NOTE:

<HPSS_HOME> translates to %PADB_HOME% in this context of importing data.

4. Click Import. XP Performance Advisor does the following:

a. Displays an informational message that the import for the selected XP array is successfully

initiated.

b. Imports performance data from the .dmp files of the following types:

• <XParray_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archiv-

al_start_time>_<Start_collection_interval_timestamp>_<End_collec-

tion_interval_timestamp>.DMP

• <PAarray_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archiv-

al_start_time>_<Start_collection_interval_timestamp>_<End_collec-

tion_interval_timestamp>.DMP

c. Logs two records under Import data for the date and time when the import is complete.

d. Displays the names of the two .dmp files that are imported, under File Name.

5. Perform a fresh configuration data collection for the XP array on the management station, where

you have imported the performance data. For more information on performing configuration

data collection, see “Configuration data” on page 42.

Importing archived data to another management station

To import the archived data to another management station:

1. Copy both the .dmp files for an XP array from the source management station to the following

location on the target management station:

<HPSS_HOME>\padb\admin\PADB\dpdump\

2. Follow steps 1 – 5 provided for importing data to the same management station. For more

information, see Importing archived data to the same management station on page 164.

The above mentioned procedure is also applicable, if you are accessing the target management

station over the web, (http(s)://[server name].[domain name]/pa).
